Peripheral neuropathy due to folate deficiency – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1407701809

Electrical studies of peripheral-nerve function in folate deficiency confirm that the predominantly sensory axonal neuropathy is similar to that described for vitamin-B12 deficiency. The neurological manifestations are also similar (see definition of peripheral neuropathy due to vitamin B12 deficiency).
